How to clear app cache programmatically on Flutter
As I have been developing app using Flutter. I came to find that app is heavy in size plus it is using a lot of space as app data and app cache. Is there any way to clear app cache programmatically?
Edit: my app's size in release mode is about 7mb and app data is about 11mb.
My app opens one site within app and it also streams online radio so it's app data goes on increasing

7.5 MB is an expected size. Flutter has to provide many heavy files underneath the platform.

You can get the temp folder, and delete files in it.
var appDir = (await getTemporaryDirectory()).path;
new Directory(appDir).delete(recursive: true);
